Another option is that this doesn't replace the student's work, but the teacher's. The single greatest use I have found for ChatGPT is in educating myself on various topics, hosting a socratic seminar where I am questioning ChatGPT in order to learn about X. Of course this could radically change a student's ability to generate homework etc, but this could also radically change how the student learns in the first plac…

Absolutely ChatGPT is a great learning tool if in the right hands. The issue is that students with a genuine interest in learning are a minority. The majority would rather use ChatGPT to cheat through their class work and get an easy A rather then exhaust the effort to chat and learn for their own sake.

Just have 100% of the mark come from in-person exams, as many subjects already do. Students can cheat all they want on assignments, but the only thing it's hurting is their exam score.

Talking to Google and Siri has been positively frustrating this year. On long solo drives, I just want to have a conversation to learn about random things. I've been itching to "talk" to chatGPT and learn more (french | music theory | history | math | whatever) all summer. This should hit the spot!

I've replaced my voice google assistant searches with the voice feature of the Bing app. It's a night and day difference. Bing voice is what I always expected from an AI companion of the future, it is just lacking commands -- setting tasks, home automation, etc.

I got sick of searching Google for in-game recipes for Disney Dreamlight because most of the results are a bunch of pointless text, and then finally the recipe hidden in it somewhere.

I used Bing yesterday and it was able to parse out exactly what I wanted, and then give me idiot-proof steps to making the recipe in-game. (I didn't need the steps, but it gave me what I wanted up front, easily.) I tried it twice and it was awesome both times. I'll definitely be using it in the future.

> What LLMs have made me realize more than anything is that we just don't care that much the information we receive being completely factual. I find this highly concerning but I feel similar. Even "smart people" I work with seem to have gulped down the LLM cool aid because it's convenient and it's "cool". Sometimes I honestly think: "just surrender to it all, believe in all the machine tells you unquestionably, forge…

I just verify the information I need. I find it useful as a sort of search engine for solutions. Like, how could I use generators as hierarchical state machines? Are there other approaches that would work? What are some issues with these solutions? Etc. By the end I have enough information to begin searching the web for comparisons, other solutions, and so on. The benefit is that I got a quick look at various solutio…

I think this is a fine use case though because you're doing your due diligence. The problems arise when you don't do this.

I think even if an AGI was created, and humans survived this event. I'd still have trouble trusting it.

The quote "trust but verify" is everything to me.

I still don't understand how you can talk to something that doesn't provide factual information and just take it at face value? The other day I asked it about the place I live and it made up nonsense, I was trying to get it to help me with an essay and it was just wrong, it was telling me things about this region that weren't real. Do we just drive through a town, ask for a made up history about it and just be satisf…

I'm curious if you're using GPT-4 ($)? I find a lot of the criticisms about hallucination come from users who aren't, and my experience with GPT-4 is it's far less likely to make stuff up. Does it know all the answers, certainly not, but it's self-aware enough to say sorry I don't know instead of making a wild guess.

You can also prompt it to hold back if it doesn’t know, which seems to make a difference. It’s part of my default prompt, and since I added it I haven’t had any overt hallucinations. Definitely invalid code, but not due to crazy errors. Just syntax and inconsistent naming mostly.

I verify just about everything that I ask it, so it isn’t just a general sense of improvement.

I've been making a few hobby projects that consolidate different AI services to achieve this, so I look forward to the reduced complexity and latency from all those trips.

If the API is available in time (halloween), my multi-modal talking skeleton head with an ESP32 camera that makes snarky comments about your costume just got slightly easier on the software side.

Are you using 3.5 or 4?

This is the dagger that will make online schooling unviable. ChatGPT already made it so that you could easily copy & paste any full-text questions and receive an answer with 90% accuracy. The only flaw was that problems that also used diagrams or figures would be out of the domain of ChatGPT. With image support, students could just take screenshots or document scans and have ChatGPT give them a valid answer. From wha…

It would be sufficient to do exams in person and no longer grade homework.

Good point. Though I imagine fully online institutions would require testing facilities. Maybe local libraries become testing hosts?

They have gone from being a niche research company to being (probably) the fastest growing start-up in history. I suspect they do care about communicating with customers, but it's total chaos and carnage internally.

> fastest growing start-up in history. What are some metrics that justify this claim?

They have been the fastest company ever to go from 0 to 100 million users. [0]

They are also on pace to exceed $1B in revenue. [1]
